Seeds in their packets

won’t be growing anywhere

I’ll plant tomorrow

Barbecue spring

Who needs a summer?

already the swifts’ shrill cries

fill gorgeous blue skies

White rose

White rose reminds me

of my Yorkshire heritage

of my missed father

Appear-disappear

.

One, two, three, four, five

long-tailed tits perch in the birch

five, four, three, two, one

Your time came too soon

somehow it doesn’t seem fair

I will remember

Late one

 

My rather full day

has somewhat predicated against

writing a haiku

Plagiarised

Wonder of wonders

miracle of miracles

musical plundered

Ever so slightly cool

 

Soft wind sweetly blows

gently soothing sun-soaked skin

it’s not yet summer

Book

 

From the high bookshelf

an unread Christmas book calls

The Book of Origins

.

Ready for planting

claggy soil crumbled by hand

a transformation
